Default Opinion on this style wheel...

Considering having 19" & 20" with a very similar spoke style made in Audi fitment. They would be forged, under 20lbs and in a vareity of finishes. The price point would be just under that of an HRE with higher quality. Would this style be fitting of the RS4 (and other models)?

Default who builds them?

the spokes look delicate. compare that wheel to a similar wheel built by Kinesis, which is of course one of the strongest wheels you can buy...much beefier spokes:

as far as the style, get what you like.

Default I'm asking for input because I have to order at least 80 wheels....

Thought is to do Porsche Fitment first, and then Lamborghini/Audi fitmentin the second run. They will be manufactured by Champion.

Default wheels are like jewelry...very personal.

personally, I don't like those, but it's difficult to tell w/o seeing them on the car. I think I'd buy one set, show them on the car, and see what kind of reaction you get before ordering 80 of them.

Default Yes they are definitely very personal...

It's the only mesh style wheel I've seen that is a rounded Y spoke instead of a straight V. That single characteristic is what really sets the design IMO. If I could do one set I would, but it would still cost the same amount of $$$. Don't have any pics of them on an Audi but here are a few on other cars...
